Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal insists he won't panic buy.
Van Gaal reiterates it will take around three months for his methods to have their full effect, the Dutchman believes managing expectations at Old Trafford is something he can take in his stride.
"I want to assess my team and I can only judge when I am the trainer-coach," he stated to the press. "And I transfer my philosophy and I know how they perform my philosophy. That is what I am doing.
"Not only with the players that have trained and played football in the United States, but now I give these other players a chance for two weeks. I think that is honest. Then we have to wait and wait. You can buy a player in 24 hours, believe me. That is not a problem.
"I could discuss this [specific targets] with you but I won't do that. I will discuss it with Ed Woodward, not with you."
